Truckload pricing, a delivery schedule you can plan around, and one invoice.
Buying at volume should cost less and take less effort, and usually it only does one of the two. U.S. Pallet & Crate is a wholesale pallet and crate supplier in Houston, TX, running truckload volume on new and recycled pallets, crates, industrial wood and bulk containers out of our Kingwood facility. Weekly standing orders or one-time bulk, on a schedule instead of a scramble.
Most of what goes wrong with wholesale packaging is not price. It is arriving late, arriving short, or arriving inconsistent, which sends somebody out to buy a rush pallet at retail and wipes out the saving several times over.
We manufacture in Kingwood and deliver across the Houston metro on our own trucks, so a standing order is a schedule rather than a hope. Outside the metro we ship truckload and LTL by common carrier.
The other advantage of buying across lines is one spec conversation instead of four. If your pallets, crates, dunnage and containers all come from the same shop, they get built to the same standard and they show up on the same truck.
Six lines you can buy at truckload volume, all manufactured in Kingwood and delivered across the Houston metro.
Truckload volume on new 48x40 GMA and every specialty footprint.
New pallets at volume, built to one consistent spec so the tenth truckload matches the first. This is the line for export, food, pharma, automated handling and anything customer facing.
FTL and LTL recycled 48x40 in Grade A and Grade B, plus remanufactured and combo.
The volume budget line. Buy the lowest grade that survives your handling, and split your spec so recycled covers the internal moves while new covers the shipments that matter.
Standard, wirebound, open slat, export and heavy duty crates at volume.
Repeat crate runs built to a fixed template. Once the first build is right, the template speeds production and brings the per-unit cost down on every run after it.
Dunnage, blocking, cribbing, mats and cut lumber by the bundle or truckload.
The consumable line, and the one most worth putting on a standing order. Cutting to your list rather than buying long removes both the offcut waste and the labor to make it.
Gaylord boxes, wooden bulk bins and boxes, A-frames and drum pallets at volume.
Bulk containers priced per trip rather than per unit. If your containers come back, the cycle count decides the real cost, not the invoice.
Any custom build, at volume, to a locked spec.
For a footprint, grade or construction nobody stocks, ordered often enough that it needs to be repeatable. We hold the spec so every run matches, and volume brings the per-unit price down.
Four questions that usually save more than a price negotiation.
That is the most expensive habit in packaging. Either you are over paying on internal moves or under specifying on the shipments that matter. Split the spec by application.
Wholesale Recycled PalletsThen you are paying rush premiums and chasing time nobody counts. A standing order at a steady volume is nearly always cheaper per delivered unit.
Wholesale New PalletsThen it should be a locked template, not a fresh quote each time. Repeatable builds run faster and cost less per unit after the first.

Delivered when we promised. If anything's off at delivery, we make it right at no cost to you.
Wholesale pricing moves with lumber and with volume, so we quote against current material cost for your exact spec rather than publishing a number that goes stale. Standing orders price better than sporadic buying at the same annual quantity, because the production run can be planned.
Ask for the delivered cost, not the unit cost. A cheaper pallet that arrives late, short or inconsistent costs more than the difference, and that is the comparison worth making.

Call Us (832) 702-8480Truckload volume, or a standing order at a regular quantity. We also handle one-time bulk buys. Send your quantity and we will tell you which pricing applies.
Yes, and for most operations it is the single biggest saving available. A steady schedule removes rush premiums and the time somebody spends chasing stock.
Across the Houston metro we deliver on our own trucks. Outside the metro we ship truckload and LTL by common carrier and quote the freight with the order.
Yes, and that is the point of buying across lines. One spec conversation, one delivery and one invoice instead of four suppliers who each blame the others.
It depends on the trailer, the pallet height and whether the load double stacks. Tell us your trailer type and we will work the count with you rather than quoting a number that may not apply.
Yes. We hold the spec so repeat runs match. That consistency is usually more valuable at volume than at small quantities, because an inconsistent truckload creates work at your end.
Yes. Heat treated and stamped to ISPM-15, at truckload volume, which is a common requirement for shippers moving through the Port of Houston.
We fix it. If an order is not right we make it right at no cost to you.
